Think about it like Death Battle, only with less death and more hyperactive dialogue. It all started with a fateful encounter between Deadpool and Pinkie Pie. It turned into something bigger. ·TundraStanza

"I'm Yah-Shee and he's Arrell, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armour, and skills to find out who would win an Equestrian Death Battle."

This story takes the concept of Death Battle and carries it over into Equestria, pitting different ponies and other Equestrian creatures against each other in one-on-one fights to the death to see which is superior. Extensive research is done on both combatants to figure out who would win, and is presented as a written battle to be more entertaining.

Readers are asked to suggest possibilities for battles in the comments, or by messaging me. You are allowed to suggest OC characters, as long as they are from a story that is at least somewhat well-known.

>>611668611668 I'm aware, don't worry. That episode was actually the main inspiration for this series. Only real problem is trying to avoid looking like I'm copying their research word-for-word when Rainbow Dash gets involved in a battle.

If I see a matchup that I don't think would work too well, I may use one of the characters in a different battle against a separate opponent. I will likely not do this often, but I'm just saying it now in case I do in the future. I'll be adding it as a note to the next chapter, so people who don't read the comments will still know.

Again, this won't happen often, if ever. This is just a "just-in-case" thing, sort of like how people purchase a fire ladder in case their house catches fire, even though it's very unlikely to happen and may end up never happening.

>>611802611802 I like all of those ideas! Don't know if I'll use all of them, but I'll eventually use at least one.

And your story doesn't have to be super-popular. I checked your story, and it has over 5k total views, with over 1k views for a single chapter. I consider that "reasonably well-known", though I would still prefer to not use Lucario, since he's not a pony or OC. Sorry.

>>612231612231 Background ponies are somewhat hard to write battles for. When I write battles including background ponies, I'll use information based off of the most common fan interpretation of them, which might not please some people. For example, a lot of people consider Derpy to be a clumsy mailmare with Dinky as a child, but is still intelligent and normal aside from her clumsiness. Therefore, if I make a battle involving her, that is how I will portray her.

I had imagined this originally was going to be a cliche. But I am impressed! I look forward to the next battle as well as to suggest a matchup of my own: Chrysalis vs. Discord! They have always said those two are perfect for each other, and now we could possibly WATCH THEM FIGHT TO THE DEEEATH!!!... So please consider!

>>613176613176 The amount of followers you have doesn't matter. All that matters is that you enjoy what you do. If the story you want to write is fun for you, then write it, and if people accuse you of copying me then I'll step in.
